Royals 3rd and 4th receive pair of forfeits to improve to 8-1-1

Unfortunately playing the CM1 and CM2 teams for the third time was a little more of a let down as CM1 only had 6 kids show up to the game and CM2 had no one show up. A team must have 9 players at least to start a game so the Royals received 2 forfeits and improved their record to 8-1-1 on the year. CM1 agreed to stay and with some of our players from the 2nd game fielded a team to scrimmage and then graciously agreed to fill in for CM2 and scrimmage a 2nd game with some players from our team 1. Our highlights in game one were as follows - Steven Cutler went 2 for 2 with 2 singles and 1 run scored, Tanner Clatt was 1 for 2 with a single Brady Stoeffler was 1 for 1 with a single, a sacrifice and a RBI, Parker Eley was 1 for 2 with a single, Tyler Anthony went 1 for 2 with a double and scored a run, Elliot Morgan was Hit-By-Pitch and scored a run, Chase Carlson was 1 for 1 with a single, and Trenton Erickson was 1 for 1 with a double and 2 RBI's. Also in the scrimmage Hunter Beard was 2 for 2 with a HR and a single, 1 run scored, and 2 RBI's, and Grant Tiarks was 1 for 1 with a double. Ben Pepper pitched 2 innings allowing 2 hits 2 runs and had 5 strikeouts, Parker Eley came in in the 3rd and pitched 2 innings allowing 3 hits, 0 runs and had 5 strikeouts. In the 2nd scrimmage Wayne Beard went 1 for 2 with a single and a run scored, Garret Tiarks was 1 for 2 with a single, Grant Tiarks was 1 for 2 with a single and a RBI, Brady Stoeffler went 2 for 2 with a run scored and 2 RBI's on a Home Run and a single, and Hunter Beard was 1 for 2 with a single.
